One Piece : Captain, We’ve Arrived at Laugh Tale

Kuma picked up the Devil Fruit and examined it intently for a long moment, a look of astonishment breaking through his usual calm.

He suddenly stated, "Rayleigh, give us this fruit, and I will have Dragon find a fruit you desire!"

Rayleigh was taken aback.

He hadn't expected such a strong reaction from Kuma, which suggested this fruit was exceptional.

"Kuma, tell me what fruit it is first. Don't worry, if you really want it, I won't stand in your way, but you can't lie to me."

Rayleigh was intensely curious about what kind of fruit could elicit such a reaction.

Kuma quickly composed himself, his voice filled with excitement as he announced, "Mythical Zoan, Mythical Creature type: Kirin!"

Rayleigh shot to his feet.

Damn, their luck was unbelievable; it was another Mythical Zoan!

Even Sanji, who was training nearby, perked up his ears, highly sensitive to the term "Mythical Creature."

Rayleigh didn't know if the Straw Hats were blessed or cursed by Mythical Zoans, but even if it was a curse, no one would complain, as the more powerful allies they had, the better.

However, he hadn't anticipated a Kirin form, which was beyond his expectations.

Upon further thought, it wasn't entirely unreasonable.

After all, Kaido possessed the Azure Dragon form, and Sengoku had the Great Buddha form.

A Kirin wasn't too far-fetched now.

As for why it wasn't in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, it was likely because this fruit was incredibly rare and precious, not specifically recorded in ordinary texts.

Fortunately, Kuma recognized it!

Rayleigh considered their crew again, realizing there wasn't anyone particularly suited to this fruit.

It was said that people chose fruits, and sometimes fruits chose people. No matter how powerful a fruit was, it needed the right eater to reach its full potential. Otherwise, it wouldn't significantly improve the user, and the direction of its development would be chaotic.

Therefore, there was no harm in giving it to the Revolutionary Army; the important thing was to trade it for one suitable for their crew.

No, this one needed to be exchanged for two or three!

Rayleigh asked casually, "Kuma, who are you planning to give this fruit to? Isn't it Sabo?"

Unexpectedly, Kuma nodded directly. "Sabo is the most suitable! Dragon is already a capable Devil Fruit user, so there's no need for him to have another.

Although Sabo is strong, his physical constitution is still too weak.

If he eats this Devil Fruit, his Dragon Claw Fist techniques will also gain

immense power, likely reaching the level of an Admiral!"

That's right! The Kirin was the son of a dragon and a type of dragon itself!

It would be a tremendous boost for Sabo's Dragon Claw Fist!

Rayleigh understood instantly and also recalled the original timeline. In the original story, Sabo ate the Flame-Flame Fruit. In reality, the Flame-Flame Fruit wasn't the best fit for Sabo. Could you imagine a master of dragon claw boxing wielding a Logia-type fruit?

It not only failed to enhance his abilities but might even weaken them.

If Sabo ate this Mythical Zoan fruit, as Kuma said, he would definitely possess the strength of an Admiral!

"Okay! This one is yours. I believe Luffy won't object. However, you need to help us find two or three fruits that we need. As for the specific types we want, I'll contact you later."

"It's a deal!"

Kuma didn't haggle at all. Perhaps in his view, this was a steal.

Two or three specific fruits were hard to find, but a Mythical Zoan like this was even rarer. The Revolutionary Army could gain an additional Admiral-level combatant. To refuse would be foolish!

Kuma departed as quickly as he had arrived, leaving Rayleigh envious of his teleportation ability.

And the Kirin fruit… Rayleigh was actually quite tempted, but he wasn't Blackbeard, so eating two was out of the question, much to his regret.

Fortunately, reaching this agreement was a win-win situation.

Perhaps Dragon could find fruits suitable for Mari and Sanji, which would definitely improve their strength.

Moreover, Sabo was Luffy's older brother, and strengthening him would be a significant asset.

In the future, the Straw Hats would have another powerful ally when facing trouble.

No loss, no loss, no loss at all…

Alas, he was still a little reluctant!

Rayleigh sighed silently, took out a bottle of wine from the kitchen, and began to drink alone.

Not long after, he heard movement, realizing Luffy and the others had returned. Seeing that Usopp and Chopper had successfully lost weight, Rayleigh nodded in satisfaction.

If they were still fat upon their return, they would be in for a world of pain!

"Rayleigh, we're back!" Luffy yelled, jumping onto the deck.

Rayleigh saw that Luffy was carrying a huge package on his back. When he opened it, it turned out to be a massive cake. Rayleigh initially thought Luffy was still hungry, but Luffy yelled something to the sea and gave the entire cake to Momoo when the sea cow's head appeared.

Remembering to bring food for Momoo—this captain was showing progress!

...asking for flowers...

However, Rayleigh wouldn't praise him this time!

"Not a single one is missing, but it's still quite embarrassing. Your strength is insufficient!"

Rayleigh said while drinking, "Chopper, Law, prepare the first medicinal bath so everyone can go to the island again after being reborn!"

"Understood!"

Chopper responded excitedly, and Law also nodded.

The medicated bath was finally about to appear, and they were eager to see its effects.

Soon, thirteen large vats were arranged on the deck, and Chopper and Law adjusted the potions and poured them into the vats. Looking at the green, bubbling liquid, everyone couldn't help but swallow nervously.

"Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Jango, Little 3, Nami, Robin, Tashigi, Mari, Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin, you thirteen will soak first. When the green water in the tanks becomes clear, the first medicated bath is over. The process might be painful, so endure it!"

"Law, Chopper, just in case, the three of us won't soak first."

Law and Chopper naturally had no objections. As doctors, it was better for them not to soak first to be prepared for any emergencies.

However, Rayleigh was slightly puzzled by Law. It seemed Law only cared about Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin's training.

It wasn't Rayleigh's place to interfere with such matters. It just so happened that the number of medicinal baths was sufficient, and it was fine if there was no training for those three.

Luffy took a curious look at the green medicinal liquid in the vat, tossed aside his sandals, and jumped in, the liquid reaching his neck.

"This is a medicated bath? I don't feel much… It hurts! Ahhhh! It hurts!"

Luffy couldn't help but scream, though he didn't struggle. However, even Luffy yelling like this was enough to frighten everyone else instantly.

This medicated bath looked incredibly painful!

"Luffy? Hey! Luffy, are you okay?!" Usopp asked cautiously.

"Usopp! It hurts so much! It feels like being cut by a knife!" Luffy was on the verge of tears.

Hearing Luffy's cries, the timid Usopp, Chopper, and Nami immediately backed away. Even Jango and Little 3 took a step back, clearly a little scared.
